Location of Rossau in Saxony-Anhalt

Rossau is a town and district of the Hanseatic town of Osterburg (Altmark) in the district of Stendal in Saxony-Anhalt .

geography

The village of Rossau lies north and south of the Biese , about seven kilometers west of Osterburg (Altmark) and northwest of Stendal .

The typical Altmark farming villages in the village are still shaped today by agriculture, due to the piping regulation and the high proportion of meadows and pastures, especially animal breeding.

Local division

The village of Rossau consists of the districts Schliecksdorf and Rossau, to which the residential areas Groß Rossau , Klein Rossau and Geldberg belong.

history

In 1184 a Nycholai rossow was listed as a witness in a document about the Arendsee monastery.

The originally Wendish settled place Rossow appears for the first time in 1287. The first mention from 1287 cannot be clearly assigned to Groß Rossau or Klein Rossau. It is believed that when German settlers settled next to the existing Slavic village of Rossow, this settlement was given the name “Groß” Rossau and the Slavic one was given the addition “Klein”.

In 1953 the first agricultural production cooperative of type III, the LPG " Ernst Thälmann " , was established in the municipality of Rossau, which was only formed in 1950 .

Incorporations

On July 1, 1950, the communities of Groß Rossau (with the Geldberg residential area), Klein Rossau and Schliecksdorf from the Osterburg district merged to form the Rossau community. For a long time Schliecksdorf was the only part of the community of Rossau. In 2008, the municipality of Rossau included the district of Rossau with the residential areas Geldberg, Groß Rossau, Klein Rossau and the district of Schliecksdorf.

The municipal councils of the municipalities Ballerstedt (on November 24, 2008), Düsedau (on November 12, 2008), Erxleben (on November 10, 2008), Flessau (on November 27, 2008), Gladigau (on November 26, 2008), Königsmark (on November 25, 2008), Krevese (on November 12, 2008), Meseberg (on November 19, 2008), Rossau (on November 10, 2008), Walsleben (on November 10, 2008) and the Hanseatic City Osterburg (Altmark) (on November 6, 2008) decided that their communities should be dissolved and united into a new unified community called the Hanseatic City of Osterburg (Altmark) . This contract was approved by the county as the lower local supervisory authority and came into effect on July 1, 2009.

After the implementation of the territorial change agreement of the previously independent community of Rossau, Rossau and Schliecksdorf will become districts of the new Hanseatic city of Osterburg (Altmark). For the included municipality, the local constitution according to §§ 86 ff. Of the municipality code of Saxony-Anhalt is introduced. The recorded community of Rossau and the future districts of Rossau and Schliecksdorf will be part of the new Hanseatic city of Osterburg (Altmark). A local council with five members including the local mayor is formed in the incorporated municipality and now the village of Rossau.
